Document Summary
Acquisition learning through classical conditioning requires some period of association between the cs and us: e. g. new cat/dog doesn"t seem too smart to know that as you move to the kitchen you are preparing food for them. they pick up on this as time progresses acquisition: the phase of classical conditioning when the cs and the us are presented together initial phase gradual increase in leaning, starts slow, rises rapidly, and then slowly tapers off. Second order conditioning second order conditioning: conditioning where the stimulus that functions as the us is actually the cs from an earlier procedure in which it acquired its ability to produce learning: e. g. pavlov repeatedly paired a new cs, a black square, with the now reliable tone. after a # of training trials, his dogs produced a salivary response to the black square even though the square itself had never been associated with food.
